This coming-of-age drama need some light, feel-good indie with a bit of a groove! The music needs to uplift viewers and bring a positive easy-going mood to the scene so we are looking for upbeat songs with a confident and playful energy to them. They should also have rhythm and be easy to move to. Lastly (but not least), it is also important they have a youthful, energetic vibe to represent the adolescent characters. We are ideally looking for up-and-coming indie bands making modern music, a retro sound will not work for this brief.

Reference: Breakbot – Baby I’m Yours

Deadline: 21st October 2024

For this brief, we want EDM and we want it big, anthemic and a bit silly! It needs to be very synthy, very high-energy and have a strong vocal (male or female). We want to avoid anything that takes itself too seriously – if the song is almost cheesy that is great! Lyrics about dancing or ‘letting loose’ would be perfect. Overall, the tone should be positive and fun. Our client has specified they are only interested in tracks with a contemporary sound and a BPM in the 124-130 range.

Deadline: 21st October 2024

Do you have any tunes that you could pump up to in the gym? Tunes that will get you reaching those PBs? This is what this scene needs! We want high tempo, high energy and good vibes to push the characters whilst working out. Genre is very open, the song could be heavy metal or intense dance music. It could also be the kind of songs the gym would play themselves during classes such as cheesy pop. The only requirements are that it just must be contemporary, upbeat and motivating.

Reference: Skin On Skin, Nia Archives – Burn Dem Bridges

Deadline: 14th October 2024

The music in this advert represents the youthful, cool vibes that are now in reach for viewers with this product, so the cool factor is vital for this brief. Our client is looking for trendy pop songs that sound like the ‘right now’. They want modern songs that are fresh, bright and fun but don’t feel too innocent or superficial. We would love to pitch tracks that are just a little bit ahead of the trends but without pushing the boundaries too much. It is important we get the balance of edge and coolness with feel-good pop vibes just right!

Reference: BENEE – Green Honda

Deadline: 14th October 2024

We are looking for UK rap – ideally grime – for this new TV show. The production team are after songs that could work behind violent scenes involving gangs so they want lots of energy and lots of swag. On one hand, it would be great if the song appeals to gen z and is something that the young gang members would enjoy listening to. However, we are prioritising songs that are clearly influenced by the grime and garage era over this. If you have any songs that fit both of these vibes that would be perfect!

Reference: Flowdan – Boost Up

Deadline: 14th October 2024

We are on the search for the perfect love song! A love song you could imagine slow dancing to but still has energy – don’t go any slower than the reference track. The lyrics should be positive about peaceful love and finding ‘your person’ or ‘the one’. Nothing too passionate, about love that feels just right rather than intense. The genres the client thinks would work best are pop, R&B and soul and it would be great if the song is contemporary but with a timeless feel and potentially some vintage sounds.

Reference: Snoh Aalegra – Find someone like you

Deadline: 7th October 2024

For this trailer, we want modern songs with attitude and an edge. Songs that are confident and cool with music that makes you fearless. The song should be fast and powerful, we want it to really drive the trailer forward. A catchy vocal would be perfect and it would be even better if it sounds unique. The client really like innovative music that is not too commercial, they want the song to feel fresh and cutting-edge. It is important that the music has varying sections that listeners may not expect.

Reference: Skrillex, Fred again.., Flowdan – Rumble

Deadline: 7th October 2024

This brief is a music search for a mid-tempo, mellow tune to play in the background of an end of series montage. The montage reflects on the growth of the characters and changes in their relationships so the song should deepen the bittersweet emotions this brings up but remain optimistic in tone overall. It is important the music doesn’t take away from the montage, we want easy-to-listen-to pop or indie pop songs that feel timeless and most importantly don’t distract. The vocal should sound clean and indistinctive, so it is not off-putting.

Reference: Dominic Fike – Pasture Child

Deadline: September 30th 2024

This brand has asked for song with lyrics related to intelligence/knowledge for some online advertising campaigns. Some perfect examples are phrases/words such as ‘knowing it all’, ‘understanding’, ‘I know you’, ‘cleverness/smartness’ etc.. Genre is open for this brief, but the tracks need to be modern and upbeat. We would prefer to pitch some electronic tracks as this would suit the brand but ultimately, lyrical relevance is the most important factor, regardless of genre. The overall vibe should be fairly energetic and positive, nothing with a sad or scary feel.

Reference: Swimming Paul – Fknow It

Deadline: September 30th 2024

We are looking for high energy hard rock or metal for this action filled film scene. We need a song that can jump right in with the visuals and give the scene some extra intensity and grit. It needs to be full on and busy, the aim is to overwhelm viewers! We want distortion and aggression but also a sense of fun and unseriousness. A very low vocal – like in the reference – is ideal but not a necessity. Lyrics about getting into a fight, taking someone on and/or winning would be perfect!

Reference: Amon Amarth – Twilight Of The Thunder God

Deadline: September 30th 2024

We are searching for soft and sweet indie sounds for this show. The scene needs a tune that adds to the atmosphere without distracting from the dialogue. Music that can quietly boost the emotion of the scene and create warm and fuzzy feels. Indie that is too harsh will not work for this spot so acoustic, indie pop vibes would probably be the best fit. A female vocal is ideal, but a male vocal could also work if it is gentle and smooth. Lyrics about hope and optimism are a big bonus!

Reference: Clairo – ‘Bags’

Deadline: 23rd September 2024

For this campaign, we are after industrial electronic songs that you can rave to! Techno is ideal but other genres that would work really well are breaks, drum and bass, dubstep, etc. – we just need to really feel that beat! Don’t shy away from submitting fast and aggressive music for this, it does not need to be commercial. We are ideally after interesting production that feels new and exciting with a cool vocal or noise that could catch viewers’ attention. Please do not submit songs that are too ‘clean’ sounding, we want grit!

This advert is about a product empowering women so we are looking for some upbeat, energetic, empowered punk with a female vocal. We want fast paced songs that can really drive the visuals forward. The vocal is important, we should feel the attitude and confidence this product gives you through the voice. Tonally, slight aggression is fine but we want to stray away from anger and keep a vibe of optimism within the music overall. We are open to either a retro or modern sound, both could work really well.

Reference: DEAD PREZ – Propaganda

Deadline: 16th September 2024

This brief is for an intense but funny action scene. Our client is looking for a fast-paced, upbeat song with a lot going on to match the chaos on screen. The aim is to overwhelm the audience so the ideal music would be dramatic, busy and confusing – but all in a playful way. Genre-wise, it is looking like rock would work best. They have also expressed interest in songs with a Mexican/Latin influence specifically. We are very open to instrumentals but lyrics about chasing, fighting or ‘getting’ someone would work really well.

Reference: The Rolling Stones – Paint It, Black

Deadline: 9th September 2024

We want viewers to feel the comfort of travelling in this car through their screens. We want music with jazz or soul elements and a vintage feel to spark a feeling of nostalgia and warmth. The song needs to have a retro vibe or if it is modern, be inspired by old sounds. The visuals are emotive and optimistic. They explore themes of family over generations so the team is after a classic song that can appeal to a wide range of ages. We would like songs that are simple and effective – nothing too attention grabbing.

Reference: Nat King Cole, Natalie Cole – Unforgettable

Deadline: 9th September 2024

Deadline: 2nd September 2024

Our client is looking for romantic indie tunes with themes of yearning and longing for a lover. They want songs that could be timeless classics, that don’t feel particularly contemporary or vintage. Genre wise, it would be best to stick to indie or alternative with aspects of folk. The songs should feel organic with real instruments and a raw sounding vocal. A male vocal would also be better suited to the show’s storyline. The overall message of the lyrics should be passionate, excited and hopeful about love. It should evoke emotions from the audience.

They want to make sure the pieces are seen as chic and stylish but definitely not boring, so they need a song that can showcase the fun and playful side of the brand whilst remaining tasteful. We are only interested in modern, upbeat music that is fairly mainstream. Dance-pop is the client’s favourite, but some disco funk sounds could also work nicely with the visuals. Please do not upload any instrumental songs, we need a vocal for this brief.

Reference: Jessie Ware, Róisín Murphy – Freak Me Now

Deadline: 2nd September 2024

We are looking for upbeat, good vibes, high energy POP! We want fun and inoffensive. Nothing too weird or niche. This trailer is for a rom com that mainly appeals to a feminine audience so a female vocal would be best, and an aspect of girl power is definitely a bonus! The song can touch on romantic themes, but messages of empowerment and confidence should be the focus. Our client is only interested in hearing contemporary options with a modern sound to reflect the young characters in the film. No explicit lyrics please!

Reference: Latto, Mariah Carey – Big Energy Remix ft. DJ Khaled

Deadline: 26th August 2024

This brief is simple, the client wants a Halloween themed song for a scene taking place on the scary celebration. Eerie production to create a creepy feeling would be great but lyrics about ghosts, witches, October, being haunted, Halloween celebrations etc. are more important to the production team. Ideally the song will keep the vibe fairly light-hearted and capture the playful side of the festivities, as this scene is not particularly sinister or ghostly. However, we are definitely still open to more serious and spine-chilling options if they are clearly Halloween themed.

Reference: October Country – My Girlfriend Is a Witch

Deadline: 26th August 2024

This campaign is all about heat! The client wants songs that explicitly speak about being/getting hot, bringing the heat, hot stuff etc.. However, this is not just a lyrical search, the tone is equally as important. The advert is fun and silly, so it is crucial this playfulness is reflected by the songs we pitch. We don’t want anything that takes itself too seriously and camp-y elements would be ideal. If your lyrics are not family friendly, please don’t shy away, that’s not an issue for this spot. Both contemporary and retro sounding songs could work well.

For this advert, a track is required to create a sense of nostalgia – even if they are brand new! The client is asking for a romantic melody to support their portrayal of an idealistic city lifestyle. A repetitive beat to create lasting impact would be great. Whilst nostalgia is at the centre of this brief, we do still want a contemporary feel to represent both living in the present and the past. They are leaning towards pop or indie songs, but as long as the song contains sentimental, hopeful energy, genre can be pushed.

Reference: Dominic Fike – misses

Deadline: 19th August 2024

This brief is very specific! They are after soft, fairly upbeat indie pop/rock songs with a female vocal and real instruments. We need ‘cool girl’ vibes that will appeal to a fashionable and forward-thinking crowd. Songs that feel fresh, organic and positive and have vintage and romantic elements would be perfect. Vocal wise, a gentle and ‘feminine’ sounding voice would be best to create a delicate and graceful vibe. They are also open to songs with a very slight Christmas feel due to the timing of the campaign release.

Reference: Suki Waterhouse – ‘My Fun’

Deadline: 19th August 2024

This advert is all about money, so tracks need to have an explicit connection to this theme: most likely through the lyrics or maybe cash related production such as ‘Ca-Ching’ throughout the beat etc.. The client is asking for a retro sound (however it can be released recently), primarily within the genre of hip-hop/rap. They want songs with a sense of fun, nothing too serious or angry. Ideally, the song should contain some form of beat drop or unexpected change in tone, however this is just an added bonus. Please only upload clean versions.

Reference: 50 Cent – “I Get Money”

Deadline: 19th August 2024

The key for this brief is a song that makes viewers feel warm and positive. The product is particularly aimed towards parents so any lyrics that could remind them of their children and evoke sentiment is a big bonus. That being said, this advert is still for everyone, and the main focus is just simple upbeat, contemporary pop-rock. The music should be bright and high-energy but not too bold as this would clash with the emotive visuals. Please upload uplifting pop, rock or indie songs that feel organic and fresh.

Reference: Stevie Wonder – Isn’t she Lovely

Deadline: 12th August 2024

This fight scene is different, it’s a theatrical, emotional and dramatic interaction between two lovers. For this reason, we need a song that reflects a confusion of emotions. Instrumentation that feels slightly romantic but still builds and has an angry energy would be perfect. The production team want it to feel like the couple are dancing an aggressive duet, so the rhythm of the music is very important. Lyrics that cover themes of love, pain and parting ways are ideal. Any songs we pitch should be fiery and passionate whilst also tender.

Deadline: 19th August 2024

This alcoholic beverage campaign is all about enjoying the finer things in life and savouring every moment! The music should be slick to elevate the visuals and create a lavish and elegant vibe. However, as the brand prides itself on its authenticity, some contrasting old-school musical elements could work well. Genres our client has expressed interest in include jazz, RnB, soul, (sophisticated) pop and electronic. Relaxed mid-tempo music will best portray the luxurious lifestyle the brand is going for. Any vocals should be smooth and pretty but they are not necessary.

Reference: METTE – Mama’s Eyes

Deadline: 29th July 2024

We are looking for songs with attitude for a high action film scene – think high energy, fierce and up-tempo. It is important the song feels more assertive rather than aggressive – we don’t want anything too dark or threatening. The film stars a tough, female heroine so we want a female vocal to embody her character. Similarly, lyrics along the lines of winning, girl power and retaliation that would suit the scene and inspire listeners are ideal! Overall, we want strong songs with a powerful message. Genre is completely open.

Reference: Missy Elliot – Get Your Freak On

Deadline: 29th July 2024

For this campaign, a danceable, fun, modern track is required – funky without being too clubby! A rhythmic, catchy quality is a must-have for this brief, and due to the family-friendly nature, lyrics must be clean. You should try to avoid typical pop and indie-rock, and stick to high-energy, fresh sounds instead – nothing too slow or smooth, as our client is after something that feels like a party anthem! A catchy track that is memorable and impactful on the listener would be perfect for this brief, with a focus on family and making memories.

Reference: Janelle Monae – Tightrope

Deadline: 22nd July 2024

This brief is looking for an acoustic, singer-songwriter track, which has the potential to become a commanding, rock-oriented anthem for self-empowerment! This duality is important as the production team will use the track as it is and also create an alternative rock version to use later in the film. This will reflect the progression and rebellion of the protagonist, who goes from being insecure, to believing in herself. Lyrically, the director is after something ambiguous, with the potential to suit both a singer-songwriter and an alt-rock genre. A fierce, unforgettable chorus is vital for this brief.

Reference: Fireflight – Unbreakable

Deadline: 22nd July 2024

Our client is looking for a track that evokes feelings of chaos, tension and struggle to be used in a fist fight scene. The music should be building and dynamic with a strong melody and a fast tempo to reflect the desperation and struggle for survival in the scene. The client would prefer male vocals but is open to considering female vocals as long as they have undertones of aggression and emotion to convey the distress of the scene. Genre wise, our client is open as long as the mood is tense!
